XONEY - MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market continues to be plentifully supplied with capital, and discounters are evincing more desire to obtain business at current rates. The quotations for firstoclass securities show a still further downward tendency, and transactions have been reported this morning at 8i per cent. for bills having only a week to run, while three months' paper has been freely taken at 8! / per cent. The amount of gold taken to the Back of England yesterday afternoon represented £5,000. There was no material alteration in the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon. The failure has been reported of Messrs De Wolff, chuck, and Co., merchants, of Idol-lane. The liabilities are not supposed to be large. The birs of Mr T. W. Bradley, wine merchant, of Fenchurch street, have also been returned, The debts are believed to be considerable. Two o'CLocK. At the Paris Bourse this day, according to Reuters telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were quoted 64f. 50c. Flat. The English Stock Market has been rather de pressed to-day, but prices have not receded any further. Last evening continental advices induced a reaction, and although nothing has since occurred to impart strength to quotations, values generally rule steady. Consols for money are 89k I, and for the account 891 1. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 87k I ; March Exchequer Bills, lOs to 63 die.; June ditto, 153 to 12s die.; and India 5 Per Cents., 104 k 105 k.

In the Foreign Market the principal feature has been a rise in Spanish Passive and Certificates; the former being 30! 31, and the latter 131 14. The other securities are generally flatter.

Caledonian Great Eastern, and Great Western have each de clined 55., and Midland 158.; while North Western have improved £l. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have continued inactive without material change in prices. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have been in moderate request.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 31, per Wile pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.30 par £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 1 78. 10Id. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold le nearly 2-10 the per cent. dearer in London than is Paris. By advice from Hamburg the price of gold is 423 per mark and the short exchange on London Is 13.51 per £1 sicrlia. Standard gold at the English Mint pride is, therefore, agent 7-1.4115 per cent, dearer in London than in Hamburg. SHARE MARKETS—This day. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOC&S. Share! Railways.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day, OLD COURT. (Beforo Mr Baron Martin ) CHARGE OF WOUNDING WITH INTENT, ETC. Raymond Roderiquez, a Spaniard, was indicted for the manslaughter of a man named De Leon. From the evidence it appeared that the deceased and the prisoner were in a publichouse, the Rose and Crown, St. George's-in-the-East. A quarrel took place, when Roderi uez drew a knife and inflicted such injuries upon De Leon that he died in a short time after. The jury returned a verdict of guilty of manslaughter. The learned Judge sentenced the prisoner to 12 months' imprisonment with hard labour. NEW COURT. (Before Mr Justice Willes.) SENDING THREATENING LETTERS TO LORD CURZON. John Hill, about 50 years of age, described as V. farmer, was indicted for feloniously writing and sending certain letters to Viscount Curzon, son of Earl Howe, threatening to kill and murder him for some fancied injury his family had sustained through Earl Howe. The prisoner pleaded not guilty, and conducted his own defence. From the statement of the learned counsel, the evidence of Viscount Curzon and other witnesses, and the letters re ceived by the noble lord, those relied on, containing the throat to kill, were received in the month of February and August last, and stated that the prosecutor's father was formally a tenant and occupier of a farm belonging to Earl Howe in Leicestershire, and that for some cause he had been refused a renewal of his tenantoy of the farm, and being called upon to give up the farm the prisoner and the other members of his family conceived the idea that their father had been unjustly ejected by Earl Howe's bailiff from the farm, and the prisoner complained that he had been entirely thrown on the world and hie family grossly Injured. The prisoner was charged with writing the letters in question, and when the officers arrested him he admitted writing the letters, and intended to carry the threat into execution. It also appeared that the prisoner, on the 12th of July last, was seen by a police. sergeant walking up and down Hollis-street, and to delibe rately break two windows in Lord Curzon's house. The prisoner merely contradicted all the witnesses, and declared what they had said was false, and stated that when he was taken into custody by Sergeant Bird, of the detec tive force, he was taken to Scotland-yard, and after Lord Curzon had been sent for, he wan offered £5O to go to Aus tralia, which he refused. The statement was positively denied by Sergeant Bird. The prisoner did not address the jury, but merely stated that he was innocent. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. The learned Judge, in passing sentence, said—lt must be clear to every person in court, as it is to myself, that you are an exceedingly silly person—indeed I believe you-to be a very great fool. The jury have had to consider your silly, doltish, and foolish conduct, and they are of opinion that you are guilty of the charge imputed to you. Fools, how ever, must be taught that they cannot commit clime with impunity. Had the jury not taken a considerate view of your case, and recommended you to mercy, the Court would have feltit incumbent topass on you a severe sentence,because the idea that landlords can tyrannise over their tenants in this country is perfectly absurd, wicked, and foolish. Prisoner—l never did it. The kernel Judge continued—Your conduct has been most contemptible, and the sentence of the Court is that you be committed to the House of Correction for two years, with hard labour. Prisoner—Well, I didn't do it, and I'm as innocent as you are. THE LATE FATAL SHOOTING IN EPPING FOREST. John Mourdant, a respectable lad, surrendered to an in dictment charging him with causing the death of another lad, named Jameson. The prisoner, it will be recollected, met the deceased and some other boys in Epping Forest, and after some angry words had passed between them, the defendant, having a short Enfield rifle in his hand, threatened to shoot the de ceased, and placed the rifle to his shoulder, when it went off, the contents lodging in the body of the unfortunate boy J ameson. The defendant, when he saw Jameson fall, exclaimed, "My gracious 1" and did all he could to hasten medical assistance. Jameson, however, lingered for some days, but eventually died. After the evidence had proceeded for a short time, the learned Judge said to prove a case of manslaughter it was necessary to prove a case of great negligence, but the pre sent appeared to be purely accidental. The jury immediately returned a verdict of acquittal. The learned Judge said he had been considering whether he ought to make any remarks to the prisoner, but he ap peared to have suffered much already, and he had no doubt his parents had already done that in a more effectual man ner than he could hope to do. The defendant was then liberated. SENDING A THREATENING LITTER. Daniel Christopher, 44, clerk, pleaded guilty to an indict ment for feloniously sending a threatening letter to Thomas liqpper. Mr Sleigh and Mr Orridge prosecuted, end Mr Bowden defended. It appeared from the statement ma'e by Mr Sleigh that the prosecutor is a merchant, in the city, and he had anted as the guardian of a widow lady, whose husband had been in his service. The prisoner was her nephew, and she leaving some property he thought he was entitled to it. There was not the most remote reason for the supposition, as the prisoner was not known to the proseoutor until long after the lady's death. Ho then made a claim on the pro secutor with the threatening letter in question. A sentence of eighteen months' imprisonment was passed upon the prisoner. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This day. BIARLBOROUGH-ST aEET. BRUTALITY TO A CAT.—Robert Parker, a boy, living in Green's- court, Peter-street, St, James's, appeared before Mr Tyrwhitt to answer the complaint of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of cruelly illtreat ing and torturing a cat. Mrs Ann Mason, residing in Peter-street, stated that on the 23J of September last she saw the defendant kick a cat in the most brutal manner, causing it to scream from agony, On expostulating with the defendant he made use of the vilest language towards her. She:then went to the Oleo of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and on one of the officers (Dobie) seeing the cat it was still in great agony and unable to walk. In answer to the magistrate Mrs Mason said the cat was quietly walking across the road when the defendant kicked it, and she had to speak to the defendant before owing to his cruelty. Mr Tyrwhitt fined the defendant 20s or a month, stating that he was a cruel young fellow, and would go on till he got illtreating human beings. WESTMINSTER. UTTERING COUNTERFEIT COIN AT RAILWAY REPII7II3I - Rooms.—Lavina Sullevan, a young woman, wits placed at the bar charged with endeavouring to utter a spurious five-shilling piece at Mr Henry Fisher's, the rail way refreshment rooms, Pimlico. Ellen Sherborno, barmaid at the London, Chatham, and Dover terminus said that last evening the prisoner came to the bar and asked for a glass of ginger brandy, on pay ment for which she tendered a counterfeit five- shilling-pieee. Witness immediately saw it was bad and told prisoner that she could not give change. She afterwards told her that it was not a good one, upon which prisoner said that she was not aware of it. She then entered into a long statement of having had the money given her by a gentleman, near the station, but subsequently materially altered the nature of her statement. Witness sent for the superintendent, and the prisoner was given into custody. Prisoner said she was in great distress last evening when she mot a gentleman with whom she had been on terms of intimacy, who gave her five shillings, telling her he was going to Brighton, and when he returned, which would be this (Wednesday) evening, he would perhaps give her another. She did not know where the gentleman was to be found. Mr Fisher's barmaid said that there had been several attempts made of late to pass bad money at the railway refreshment rooms. There had been no less than three counterfeit pieces presented to her this week, but fortu nately she had detected them immediately. Mr Arnold remanded the prisoner until Monday, offering to accept bail for her appearance, if she could get it. SHIPPING-THIS DAY.

A number of but very indifferent performers promised to swell its renks,—of racehorses, in the true meaning of the teem, a vety few. As in the Cesarewitch, too, the young ones appeared to have the best of the weights. Speculation hes exhibited the usual amount of fluctua tion which the returns from the Corner have made us all acquainted with. Brick and Gratitude have kept remark ably fi, m, and yesterday afternoon saw the resuscitation of another old favourite in Stockingor. The favourable reports as to what Columbia had done with Lerd Burleigh and Ely brought her also to a short price, while Ackworth and Sac charometer, the foe mer especially, were supported s Rh great spirit. Out of the 61 entered on the card the large field of 33 faced the starter at the appointed hour-1 15—but a very tedious delay, caused by the breakinns away of some and the reluctance of others to come to the front, kept everyone in suspense for upwards of an hour. At length came the welcome cry of "they're off," and soon a compact-looking body were seen escalading the bill. Approaching the rails both Brick and Gratitude were seen t) be beaten, Saccharo metcr, who had been going well to this point, also retiring, while in the front rank were perceived the colours of the Marquis of Hastings, Baron Rothschild, and the Count de Lagrange, along with those of Columbia's and the High flyer's dam colt. The race resulted in an interesting struggle between Ackworth and Tomato, the former winning in the last two strides by a short head.

After running some abort distance nearly in line the squadron broke up, and Blue Mantle came on with a slight lead of Queen of Trumps, Saccharometer, Columbia, Highflyer's dam colt, and St tck inger on the lower ground, having Gratitude, Brick, Ack• worth, and Tomato on their right.

E, Forster, M,P., on Amer:can Slavery, Mr. IV. E. Forster, M.P., pre - sic] , I lest week at a meet ing held at the Mechanics' Ins La ion, Bradford ; under the auspices of the Western Fired Men's Aid Commisien. He said that the c ddress of that commissic a showed that in the progress of the fearinl contest waging in the United States the slaves had flocked wi hin the Federal Ines in multitudes, in a condition of wretchedness end went, clothed in raga, toil-worn by marohes, depressed and affiiet( d by privations and exposure. He considered that, aparc from the acaeal distress, the slaves of America had s wog claims on the sympathy of England. He cou'd rot forget that when the sta:ving people of Ireland were in great dis ress the Americans moat generously came forward and relieved them. He could not forget that, a few months ago, when the sad and terrible war cause.' great misery in L ncaQhire, notwithstanding the claims which the Americans had at home, they came forward most nobly to the assistence of the Lancashire poor. It was therefore now the turn of England to pay back to the suffering Amerie ins, forthunah black these negroes wereAmericene,what they had done for ns. Besides the claims of distress a'-d geatitule, they had also the special claim that we were friends of the coloured man and haters of slavery. They had also this claim upon ue, that the existing state of things followed the emaacipe. tion of the slave in British dominions. It followed the efforts which had been made to bring the people of America to the same standard as ourselves, and to consider slavery a sin. No one could deny the stand which was made in this country against American slavery, and the protests which were being constantly dined into the ears of Americans who c Imo amoe gst ue, how inconsistent slavery was wile their institutions, and that those remonstrances had had a great effect in raising th rt feeling in America which induced the people of that country to take such a position against the extension of slavery that the slave holder felt the institution threatened; therefore, he rebelled, and the war began, He was not going to speak of the merits and demerits of that war, but should confine his remarks to the condition of the negro in consequence of it. They hod heard that Mr Jefferson Davis had estiniated the number of emancipated slaves at 2,000,000. Whether there was that number, or whether there was only ono hal', it was a set-off against the evils of the war, but such a change could not be brought about without immense suffering. They must expect it to be severe, and this country having been instrumental in bringing . it abet, we ware especially bound to do what we cou'd to relieve it. He did not regret that we had been thus instrumental in bringing the existing state of things to their present con dition, for we had only taken the position which we would have taken the more strongly and the more earnestly years ago if we hal knows how. It was certain'y not our fault that we had raised the standard of freedom, and done all that we could to excite our fellow-Christiaes in America who felt as they ought for their enslaved fellow-citizens. It was not because we did onr duty in this respect that therefore we were to blame; blame, of course, fell upon those who were now reaping the terrible punishment--upon those who preferred to continue slavemasters rather than listen to the protests against it. Though the sufferings of the negroes were great, he must not allow those whom he addressed to go away with the idea that they were no better before their present condition was brought about. They had most delightful end encouraging proofs of the improve= ment in the condition of the negro, there were encouraging instances of the noble manner in which, generally speaking, the negro race had responded to the eOl that had been made upon them by the circumstances of the war. Gen. Banks, who was sent down to be governor of Louisiana after the Federal army hal taken possession of it, had under his protection many thousands of emancipated negroes. In March last he wrote stating he had no doubt whatever the emancipated coloured people mid discharge all the duties incident to the great change in their coedi• tion. He had seen them in all situat lees within the last year and a half, and they seemed to have a clearer comprehen sion of their position and duties than many caller classes. Among other things they demanded they should not be logged, that they should only labour when they were well treated, and that their children should be educated. The touching earnestness with which these poor people asked for the education of their children was one of the most encour aging facts connected with their condition. Though when Gen. Banks assumed the command of that depart ment there were many thousands of coloured people without employment, and many suffering from disc as, there were not in March 500 who were not self-suppotang. Col. Hanks, the superintendent of negro slaver y in the Gulf depar' ment, said, in February last, he had 6,500 coloured men at work on the abandoned plantations and fortifica'ions, and he had no difficulty with them, although it was true that some of them had a dislike to return to their cld masters. lie (Mr Forster) considered that among all the diff_rent end extraordinary statements that had been published in the English press there had been no more coirmon statement than that, however abstractedly slavery might be an evil, yet there was a great difficulty in getting rid of it; and that emancipation would practically end in failure, because negroes would never have the courage to fight for their freedom; and such was the degraded condi tion that they would not work without being compelled. Both these as:ertions had been contradicted by facts. The slave had earned respect in America from those whose pre judices were against him. Mr Felbrigg, a Boston merchant, had grown large quantities of cotton in the Sea Islends; and by holding out the hope to the negroes of good payment eventually he had proved, that with all the peculiar diffic culties under which the experiment was labouring, the cost of cultivation was very little more, if not has, than when it was grown by the negroes during their s'avery. Such a feet should make England hopeful with regard to the negro ; and it should also be considered as a commercial value for themselves. Even if the South eurceeded, which was not so certain even in the eyes of their friends, slavery was disorganised to that extent that it would not do for England any longer to rely upon it, not merely as friends of the negrc, not merely as men who wished that a great industry should no longer depend on the sinful system of slavery for its support, but also as men who had a commercial interest in the supply of the most important article of English in dustry being placed on the soundest foundation. They must look to these experiments with the greatest interest and hope for their success. The claims of the society were afterwards advocated by Mr L. Coffin, the Rev. Dr. Mr ssie, and other speakers. Resolutions were carried in favour of the formation of an auxiliary at Bradford. A vote of thanks was given to Mr Forster for presiding, and for his effuits on the American question in Parliament. This concluded the proceedings. Corkiere dell Emtlia confirms the news that the Marquis Pepoli presented his letters of recall to the Empe ror of Russia at Darmstadt. The journal adds that the Czar end Prince Gortschakoff expressed in the most cour teous manner their regret at his retirement, HEALTH OF LONDON. oin the registi ar General's report.)

At the same time the whole financial admirals ration of S:xony fell into the hands of the canine ors. Under these circum stances, M.B„ a Saxon euperin'erd.nt of finance, who was devotedly attached to the Royal house of S ixony, thought it would ba en act of pa rio:ism on his part to secrete for the King as much as poesible of the fa :cs his hands, He accordingly abstracted several mirk ns of thaters, and in the confusion which then prevailed the Austro-Prussian administrators never missed the money, When the King was restored to his throne, M, B. solicited an audience to inorm his Majesty of the existence of 'his sum; but as, according to the a. iquette of the Saxcn Cow , he was not of a rank sufficiently high to claim that honour, one of the Ministers, M. de Zeschwl:z, was charged to naive his communication. M. B. then informed the Mini ster how he had managed to secure the money and where he had concealed it. The Minister expressed his sat iefec ion, and at once communicated the fact to the King. 'M. B. hes done exceedingly well,' said Frederick Auguerus, 'but how shall we escape the obligation of rewarding him fur this ten vice ?' The Minister promptly replied, Sire, we will give him a reprimand.' M. B. accordingly received a letter ac knowledging his good intentions and accepting the money.

DIE ANTIQUITY OF TUE HOTTENTOTS.—A remarkable ethnological problem is presn',:d by the appearance of a single race in the southtrn prevince of Africa, entirely different from the South Al lean fam ly, both in physique end iu language—a race of capper colour and low development emit da:k races of LoLle physical structure, and separated from them bath by men'al peculiarities, and by a language presenting fee, u a Ex hibited in no other tongue. This people--tree Hu ,n'o —ore supposed to be the oldest people on lie Sikh A .c 1 continent, and among the evidences of this is the f.le , ttat the rivers, even in the B.claurna territory, bear Ho. e-,•ot names.

FILEY. —NM ENS E CATC Li OF H EIMIN GS. — Never in the memory of the o'dc - ,", fish , ?.m ;. hes there been such a prodigious quantity of herrings eiught as on last Monday and Tuesday night. One F. ey boat r rived on Thursday morning with 13 lasts, and the other 26 belonging to the place varied from 12 to 5 las a eoch. It is computed that at Scarb rough and Filey lone sot less than 70 boats contained on en average eight lasts each, and 10,000 being a last, the total of herrioga deliveted ia these two places would exceed five milliors, Taking an average of £7 per last, the sum realised would be nearly £4,000. A barbarous murder of four obild,n by their father has just been committed at Fort Neuf (Ain). A small farmer named Goy had la! Ay been in a gloomy state of mind owing to domestic troubles and en accusation of robbery which weighed over him. Three days beck, duriog the absence, he first stranglel with a cord two of his chit dren, ono aged 20 months and the other feu! years, end then placed them in bed, covering them over with a sheet. He next took the two others, aged seven and nine, to the river Ain, and wading iota the water drowned them both. The crime completed, he went home, changed his wet clothes, and absconded. No traces have been obtained of him. NARROW ESCAPE.—On Friday evening a Mile girl named Higgins, daughter of a tailor residing al Ashton-under-Lyne, fell into the canal between Hyde end Ashton.

Yes'erday afternoon, in accordr-tce with an Invitation from Professor Anderson, a large p-hy of ladies and gentlemen assembled in St. James's Hal!, to witness a performance in daylight similar to that gone through by the Brothers Davenport in the dark.

The musical hick was also very cleverly performed; and at i , s conclusion, - Godwin, Esq., proposed a vote of thrriks to the professor, which was agreed to unani mously. Mr Anderson, in reply, said the only object he had in view was to show the absurdity of the so-called spiritual ism, and he hoped that what he had shown would convince all that ropes c)it'd be wm led without the a'd of spirits, Course of Exchange,—Yesterday, Amsterdam Ditto Rotterdam — 12 2/ 12 r z Antwei p — 25 80 2 5 83 Bru-qels — 25 80 25 85 Hamb (IT Paris . .

UDINE, Oct. 23.—A band of about 100 insurgents, among whom are several deserters, have taken re. fuge in the forest of Consiglio. Several deserters at Cadore and Belluno are endeavouring to join them. Mr Henry Bailer, 11, King's Bench.vralk, has been appo'nfed recorder of Poole, in room of Mr James Stephen, resigned. Viscount des Meloizes Fresnoy, the new French Minister to the Court of Bavaria, has arrived at Munich to occupy hie post. The Mexican schooner Angela, which has just arrived at Havre, came in with one of her crew in irons, for the murder of the second mate by stabbing, while off the Azores. The captain, in attempting to protect the officer, received a wound in the breast, and another in the hand, by which he has lost a joint of his forefinger. A fatal accident occurred in the Rue de Lille, at Montpellier, two days back. The walls of an unfinished house, belonging to a M. Vasserot-Chaffrey, suddenly fell in and buried a mason under the ruins. Immediate steps were taken for rescuing the unfortunate man, but as the remaining walls were in a very dangerous state the opera. tion was likely to oocupy too much time to leave any hope of finding him alive. A TORNADO.—Another of those terrible tornadoes from which Illinois is noted has lately passed over a portion of the State, sweeping all before it. A correspon dent, who writes from Mattoon, states that the tornado was heralded by a dense black cloud rising rapidly in the west, and rushing with fearful velocity over the prairie, accom panied by discharges of electricity so intense that they shook the earth like au earthquake. It struck the Central Rail.' road at Mattoon, unroofing and blowing down buildings and carrying away every moveable thins in its path. Some of the cars were smashed to splinters, and one was carried half a mile away. Fortunately no lives were lost in that vicinity.—American paper. AMERICAN ELECTIONEERING AMENITIES.—The New York Tribune, while it occupies half its space with abuse of Gen. M'Clellan, complains that the adherents of that candidate vilify Mr Lincoln. It asks—" What are we to say of the patriotism of men who, in this hour of the nation's peril, bestow upon its constitutional head the fol lowing epithets : Filthy storyteller, despot, big Secessionist, liar, thief, braggart, buffoon, usurper, monster, ignoramus Abe, old scoundrel, perjurer, robber, swindler, tyrant, fiend, butcher, land pirate, acc.". This is tolerably well to begin with. A ease of self-destruction, singular at least as to its cause, occurred in the suburbs of Paris the day before yesterday. The unfortunate suicide was a stone digger, named Ferdinand P--, aged 24, a naiive of Lyons, who was afflicted with what:medical men call bulzus, or insatiable hunger. His earnings being altogether insufficient to satisfy his enormous appetite, though he ate scarcely anything bat bread. his fellow-workmen used to contri bute towards his support ; but, wearied with thus bur dening his friends. and worn oat by his sufferings from the presence of toonia, which aggravated his hanger, he at bust came to the desperate resolution of hanging him self, and succeeded in effecting his purpose. The annals of medicine reeords many instances of this disease, both in ancient and modern times, bat the most remarkable case of late years was that of a woman named Anne Denise, who died in Paris only a few years since. This unfortunate person was afflicted with bulimy from her infancy, and while still a young girl used to devour as much as ton pounds of bread daily. Though not in indigent circums stances, she was twice arrested for stealing bread to satisfy her hunger. She was at length admitted into tha Salpetriere, and placed under the treatment of Drs. Esquirol and Amussat, but to no purpose, for she left the Salpetriere as voracious as ever. Her hun. ger varied its intensity ; at ordinary times she could manage with 121bs. of bread per day for three or four months of the year she would eat from 201bs. to 24Ibs. ; and for 10 consecutive years her appetite was greatly aggravated in spring. Oa one occasion, when she had thought of keeping Good Friday as a fast-day, she ate more than 301bs. of food in 24 hours. As she advanced in years her appetite became depraved, and she took a liking to grass and flowers, espe cially buutter-cups, of which she would eat an immense quantity. To relieve the colics caused by this unnatural food she used to drink brandy, of which she became very fond, :and at last died a few hours after taking a whole litre at once. When on her death-bed and unable to take food, she begged her sister to come and eat near her, and her last words were :—" Since it pleases God that I shall eat no more, let me at last have the pleasure of seeing you eat." It is a remarkable fast that on a post niortem exa mination her stomach was found to be exceedingly smell, while her liver was unusually large, and all her other viscera quite sound and of normal size, General tLo Count de Pulikao made his entrance on Sunday into Chalons snr-Marne, the second town of his command. The houses were handsomely dressed out, and all the auihorities were in grand costume to receive the general, who went through the town on hors back uccomp2nicd by a brilliant staff. A gra n d di nner was given in the evening by Lthiecommander of the divisio n, the Mar q uis de nit (La 3har. 100 Sk 1 20 204 too I Do too 100 stkek Stook 20 stook 10 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 stook stook stool stocl.
